Check out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/tededTwo men, Estragon and Vladimir, meet by a tree at dusk to wait for someone named Godot. So begins a vexing cycle where the two debate when Godot will come, why theyre waiting and whether theyre even at the right tree. The play offers a simple but stirring question- what should the characters do? Iseult Gillespie shares everything you need to know to read the tragicomedy. Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Toms Pichardo-Espaillat.Thank you so much to our patrons for your support! Without you this video would not be possible!
